Alchemy of the Elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Air

By attuning to the qualities of the natural world, you experience a felt-sense between body and mind. Cultivate personal growth through sensory awareness and connect your intrinsic link to nature.

Each element offers unique challenges to our self-perception, encouraging us to question our internal and external choices. Recognizing the transient nature of all things, we find freedom in the rhythm of breath, movement, and being.

Jess’s childhood was enveloped by an immediate family that shared love through the joys of music, dance and theatre.
